'Het Offer des Heeren' (The Sacrifice of the Lord) is a foundational Dutch Anabaptist martyrology first published in 1562, with the 1580 edition being a notable early reprint. While much of its biographical content was later incorporated into Thieleman J. van Braght's 'Martyrs Mirror' (which is available in English), the specific Dutch compilation 'Het Offer des Heeren' has never been translated into English as a standalone complete work.

About This Book
Step into the secret, high-stakes world of the 16th-century Anabaptist underground through 'The Sacrifice of the Lord,' a harrowing collection of letters, trial transcripts, and songs written from the shadow of the scaffold. Discover how a 'simple, rejected little flock' defied empires and redefined faith, choosing the fire of the stake over the compromise of their conscience. Will you follow the 'narrow way' paved by those who sealed their testimony with their own blood?
